Zack Greinke pitched well in his Angels debut. But with Angels' bats stifled for a second straight day, Greinke's mistakes were magnified, and the Tampa Bay Rays capitalized on them to win 2-0 Sunday afternoon at Angel Stadium.

The Angels lost two of three in the series, and now they embark on a 10-game road trip, beginning with Monday's start to a four-game series against the Rangers.

Greinke, acquired in a trade with Milwaukee on Friday, at times showed the form that made him the 2009 Cy Young winner with the Royals and one of the most sought-after starters on the trade market the past few weeks. He pitched seven innings, allowing seven hits and two runs, while striking out eight and walking one. He threw 111 pitches.

But he had little margin of error because the Angels got just two hits off Jeremy Hellickson (6-6). Mixing speeds with devastating effect, he held the Angels to only two singles in six innings. , On both occasions there were no outs, and both times the Angels successfully bunted the runner over to second. But Angels hitters went 0 for 4 with the runner at second.

Chris Iannetta got one of those singles in his first game back since going on the DL with a broken wrist in May. His hit was his first since April 30, a solo homer against the Twins.

The Angels batted in 26 innings during the three-game series, and scored in only one of the frames. That was the third inning of the first game Friday night, when they got three runs across in a 3-1 victory. After that, they went 23 straight innings without a run.

The Rays went ahead 1-0 in the sixth on a single by Matt Joyce. In the seventh, Carlos Pena had a leadoff double and advanced to third on a groundout, and scored on Greinke's second wild pitch of the game. That made it 2-0.

The Angels threatened in the ninth with two singles off closer Fernando Rodney, but Albert Pujols grounded into a double play to end the game.
